Lyon Michelin-recommended | L'argot's Flaming Bone Marrow 🔥🍖
I shared this place last year, but it's ridiculously hard to book —closed for Christmas, New Year's... This time, for Xiao Liang's graduation, we reserved a whole month in advance ! 🗓️✨ Last visit, my friend and I ordered the 1.4kg Côte de Boeuf Limousine —a rib cut loved by locals for its marbling and rich flavor . Massive portion though... two people *definitely* couldn't finish it! 🥩😅 This time, we went for the 800g Côte de Veau (veal) + a salad to balance the richness. Personally? I prefer the beef —that fat is *divine*—but my friend avoids fatty meats, so veal it was. 🐄❤️🐣 Verdict? The veal was lean (pretty pink!) but... not *that* tender. Stick with the boeuf! Since these giant meat platters take 30 mins to prep , we got drinks and starters. Their pâté is supposedly great, but I *needed* roasted bone marrow—a classic! 🦴🔥 Normally, French starters are tiny, and marrow is rich, so we ordered just one portion . The server seemed surprised ("Only one?"), and then... four giant marrow slices arrived ! 😱🍞 Paired with crusty bread, this starter was a steal —could easily feed four! Plus, their service is top-notch —another win for this overworked corporate drone. 🏢💻 #Lyon #LyonLife #FrenchCuisine #HiddenGem #LyonEats #LyonTravel #LyonGuide
